SUMMARY:RYDB Fest - Community Overnighter
DESCRIPTION:The Ride Your Damn Bike Festival is back — and once again we’re inviting you to ride your damn bike\, any damn way you want. \nPatrick Farnsworth of Bikes or Death will be leading a beginner-friendly\, lightly supported\, no-drop community overnighter as part of a weekend full of riding\, learning\, and good times. \nThis year we’re riding the Lake Wedington Loop — a classic route from the Bikepacking Roots Fayetteville Route Network that heads west of Fayetteville on mostly gravel roads into the rolling oak woodlands of the Ozark National Forest and Lake Wedington Recreation Area. \nExpect quiet backroads\, gentle hills\, beautiful scenery\, and optional rocky singletrack adventures on the return. \nThere are no stores on route — riders should plan to carry all food and snacks from Fayetteville. Water will be available at camp. \nThis ride is designed for riders curious about bikepacking\, first overnighters\, or anyone looking for a supportive adventure with a great community. \n\nWhat “Beginner Friendly” Means\nWe will ride together at a relaxed pace and create a supportive environment — but this is still an adventure ride. \nYou can expect: \n\nRide leads and sweepers (no one left behind)\nProSlow pace (10–12 mph moving average)\nMandatory regroup stops\nMechanic support for minor repairs\nSAG vehicle available if you need assistance or a ride to camp\n\nRiders should still plan to be self-supported — carry your own food\, water\, clothing\, and camping gear.
